"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, there were bursts of explosions in the mountains and forests on both sides. This sound was very familiar to everyone. It was the sound of the spiritual light cannon.
At the same time, there was chaos in the forest. The monster beasts that were charging forward heard the miserable howls of their companions behind them, and they all stopped and looked back.
"Damn it, it's finally here!" Baojishan was overjoyed, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Fire all the artillery fire, shoot thousands of arrows, and kill all the monsters that rush down!"
"Yes!" Everyone was shocked. Cannons were fired and arrows shot out like rain, beating the frightened monsters until they howled like ghosts and wolves, leaving corpses scattered all over the field.
Less than half an hour later, the sound of artillery and the shouts of killing stopped, and the second town commander Chong Rufeng, the fourth town commander Ling Hupei, and the two deputy commanders Ji Chongling and Hu Kuaijun all appeared.
After a while, commander Zhou Yang arrived with five hundred guards.
Among the guards, Linghu Deyi hurriedly went out to pay homage to the head of the family. Seeing this, Linghu Pei just nodded, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chong Rufeng, Baojishan and others were thoughtful.
The results of this battle were brilliant. A total of more than 37,000 demonic beasts were killed in the three towns, and two nearly level six monsters were also killed. It was a great victory.
However, the Qing Dynasty army also suffered many casualties. In the first suppression, 9200 people were killed and 1,300 were injured. The second town killed 300 people and injured more than 400 people. In the fourth town, 150 people were killed and more than 200 injured.
Baojishan voluntarily admitted that it was because he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly that he suffered such heavy casualties, and was willing to accept the punishment.
As the commander of the army, Zhou Yang naturally had to distinguish rewards and punishments. He severely reprimanded Baojishan and Bai Zuye. Baojishan was fined one year's salary and Bai Zuye was fined half a year. The two had no objections.
"Everyone, the army has penetrated more than 5,000 miles into Baizong Mountain, and it's time to rest and recuperate. In addition, the mountains and forests occupied are all owned by Zhou Tianzong, so they must be marked clearly one by one." Zhou Yang said again.
"Mr. Zhou, our army is as strong as a broken bamboo. It can attack everything and win every battle. There is no need to rest!" Chong Rufeng added.
He is never called the commander, but the general manager, and his dissatisfaction is very obvious.
"Yes, Commander, we can approach the Tianshui Mountain area in ten thousand miles. Why don't we work hard and win the secret cave place!" Linghu Pei also agreed.
In fact, Baojishan also meant the same thing, but he had just been punished and it was hard to say anything else.
Zhou Yang understood what these people were thinking. Could the treasures in the secret cave not be exciting?
"Everyone, please don't forget the purpose of our sending troops this time. Before leaving, the city lord repeatedly confessed that it is important to preserve our strength, and we should not lose the overall situation because of immediate interests. The two factions of Taiqing Sect and Dashun Trading Company, but hope We will return defeated! Besides, we have lost so many troops in just one battle. If we make another mistake, we will all be punished." Zhou Yang said solemnly.
"General Manager..."
"Needless to say, the army will rest at the designated location, and all the sentinels in each town will be dispatched to investigate clearly the situation within a radius of three thousand miles. Anyone who makes any slight move will be prosecuted by military law!" It is related to the safety of the army, and Zhou Yang must act decisively.
Although he has never commanded such a large army, he understands that as a soldier, he must be decisive in killing and must not hesitate or be vague, otherwise his prestige will be greatly damaged and the strategic purpose will be difficult to achieve.
The suppression army was basically unimpeded along the way, which also greatly increased the confidence of the commanders in each town. This was not going to work. The monsters in the secret cave are by no means benign, otherwise the millions of cultivators in Bai Zong Mountain would not have been defeated in a single battle.
"Yes!" Although the three of them were dissatisfied, they had to obey the general's order. However, Ji Changling and the other three deputy commanders thought just as Zhou Yang thought. The monsters in the secret cave were extremely ferocious and would never be defeated so easily.
Zhou Yang also ordered Zeng Piao to summon all the towns and draw attention to the self-destruction of high-level monsters. He also specifically stated that if a certain number of quasi-sixth-level monsters appear, they must not act rashly and do not attack without orders.
The intelligence of the sixth-level monster is no different from that of ordinary people, but the level-6 monster is not much different, and it may be possible to simply arrange troops and play tricks.
Zhou Yang took Zeng Pi and others out of Black Stone Valley and found a secluded place to settle down.
Originally, the Chinese army's tent should be placed in a certain town. With a large army to protect it, safety would naturally not be a problem.
But if that happens, the commander and deputy commander in the town will easily become slack, and everything will be subject to his will. Moreover, one's own actions will be restricted, and the flexibility will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive to central coordination and command.
Therefore, Zhou Yang set up the main tent of the Chinese army independently, leaving only 500 guards to protect him.
He arranged for Zeng Cui to collect all kinds of information, and then he went up to the sky alone to look down at the terrain.
After a long time, he landed on the ground, but instead of entering the Chinese army's tent, he landed in a forest several hundred miles south of the tent, and released the white ape.
At this time, the white ape is stronger than before, and his strength has also increased. Zhou Yang also found that its eyes were much more lively than before, indicating that this guy had not only increased his strength but also improved his intelligence after taking a large amount of animal-benefiting pills.
"Go to the secret cave, which is your home, get these things and other good things back, and put them into this bag." Zhou Yang communicated with it for a while, and the guy actually nodded, obviously understanding. .
However, Zhou Yang spent a lot of effort on how to get Bai Yuan to use the storage bag correctly. After losing a lot of brain cells, Zhou Yang finally taught White Ape.
"Remember, don't get entangled with humans when you see them! And don't lead your companions here!" After explaining some more, he let the white ape go.
This place is far away from the army, and the white ape will not be exposed.
He did this just in case. If the army could really attack the secret cave, they might as well get a little more. But he didn't think it would be that simple. There were two or three level six monsters there. How could they give up on their roots?
What's more, people only know about two or three monsters. What if there are other big monsters in the secret cave?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shudder. If this were to happen, it would be dangerous for the army to enter the secret cave.
Chong Rufeng, Linghu Pei and others are all bent on entering the secret cave to hunt for treasure, especially Chong Rufeng, who is also a bit duplicitous towards his child commander. If he disobeys his command at the critical moment and enters the secret cave without authorization, he will have to The losses will be heavy.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang took out the Wanli Talisman, but after thinking about it, he put it into his storage bag.
Hai Tianxiao only gave four Wanli Talismans in total, and they were not allowed to be used unless there was an urgent military situation. Let's talk about it when the time comes. The city lord's words are much more effective than his own.
